Fake security scans trick victims into uninstalling their antivirus 0 A network of fraudulent websites branded as SysScan with Microsoft logos are conducting fake security scans to deceive victims into uninstalling legitimate antivirus software. Eleven sites hosted on a single server run convincing but fabricated security checks using basic browser data, deliberately constraining security scores between 13 and 30 out of 100 to guarantee failure. The scam falsely claims Windows no longer supports third-party antivirus and tricks victims into providing personal information, banking details, and remote-access credentials through a detailed form that transmits data directly to Telegram. After form submission, victims receive calls from supposed refund managers who exploit the removed security protections. The operation shows indicators of AI-generated code and targets both consumer and enterprise security software users.
